Learn more about the map styles

Each map type offers different information and each map style is designed for a different purpose. Read about the styles and map projection used in the above map (Silver Style Panoramic Map of Germany).

This style is named after the grey, silver looking color scheme used in the map. It has no connection with precious metal, except for it looks beautiful too. Germany is highlighted in white. This color scheme is similar to gray styled maps, however this map uses the lighter shade of gray.

Hill shading enhances the look of the map and provides valuable information on topography. Shadows drawn on a map simulate the effect of sunlight over the surface of the land.

A map projection is a way how to transform points on a Earth to points on a map. Different projections are developed for different purposes. This map of Germany uses Plate Carree projection, a simple variant of the equidistant cylindrical projection.

The Plate Carree projection has straight and equally spaced meridians and parallels that meet at right angles. They form a grid of equal rectangles over the entire world map. Each degree of latitude and longitude is the same size.
